Batteries Batteries Batteries

Everyone complains of the batteries and yes 3 of 5 batteries they shipped were dead. But the point is to charge them overnight like every cordless phone says to do. Upon doing so miraculously all the batteries were just fine and hold charge as they...

There are 5 units, range is great, feature set is great, price was amazing

Finally An Inexpensive Decent Cordless Phone System

This review is about the factory refurbished, Uniden DECT 2080-5 1.9 GHz single line five phone system with answering machine. For a cordless phone, the range is a phenomenal especially when comparing with one that operates at 5.8 GHz. The sound ...

A nice feature packed phone

The model I purchased came with four handsets. Each handset came with a charging base, one of which is the base unit with the answering machine. Each handset is color coded and is programmable for the location such as “Kitchen”, ...

This phone system at first showed a lot of promise. They are attractive phones, with fairly good sound quality from both the handset and the speakerphone. The different color handsets are great. Aside from it's good looks, utilizing ...

Great range, clear sound, intelligent software, backlit keys

Only available in single line version. Modest screen. Editor is limited

Finally! A phone without the dreaded "out-of-range" message.

UPDATE 8/05/08: Well, once again I have to blush, say "mea culpa" and wish it weren't so ... I've had the phone system for 8+ months and for the last month or so I've been experiencing the dreaded "out-of-range" message, as referenced in my title. I ...

Reception GREATLY improved from prior models to allow a greater distance between phones and base
